I am playing Horde when the last 6.5 years I played Alliance. <br /><br />One word of caution though, the trail does not include the TBC and Cataclysm races.

I unsubbed because everyone I knew on a low-pop server left. If I had to go about making whole new "friends," then I might as well start fresh on a new server.<br /><br />But I'll be damned if I A) spend $55 per toon moving people, or B) leave all my gold/heirlooms/professions/etc and start over the grind from scratch.Azurielhttp://inanage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-53054343491683353212011-09-20T20:45:25.473-05:002011-09-20T20:45:25.473-05:00@Salvaenus: I'm pretty sure the guild and peop...@Salvaenus: I'm pretty sure the guild and people aren't there anymore. It's been a while. A few I could maybe drag back in with me, but I fear the extened network is scattered. I don't think I could play it as a lobby game. If I wanted that, TF2 works a million times better. Now if only TF2 had group PvE (I don't mean bots).<br /><br />@Tesh: Quiet. If you keep saying that Blizzard will have to nerf the freeness to get you to pay a bit of money. There's your F2P is evil, right there! :P<br /><br />@VGP: I am very good at making things take longer than they should. I seem to recall level 5 took a few hours at first, thanks to my trip through the Barrens.<br /><br />@HNtG: Is there a substitute activity which would be more fun, relative to the dollar cost? I've wondered this myself, given the low cost, could a low-fun WoW still be a good deal?<br /><br />I imagine my tips would involve a lot of "don't finish X quest, because the previous phasing is more fun."Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-36879232337743536432011-09-20T15:26:10.675-05:002011-09-20T15:26:10.675-05:00Cata WoW is pretty much awful.

I can't honestly say I'm enjoying myself, but I guess it's better than staring at TV all night.<br /><br />Leveling is too fast. End-game is horrendous.<br /><br />I've quit this game more times than I can count, but I just keep coming back for more abuse.<br /><br />More power to you if you can find fun in the game.

I also agree with the comment that the world is now a big waiting for dungeon lobby...a place to play minigames and get achievements while waiting to play the real game (battlegrounds, arenas, dungeons, raids).Video Game Philosopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874126996122479911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-42598232425201398422011-09-20T10:50:44.335-05:002011-09-20T10:50:44.335-05:00It's been my experience of late that the exten...It's been my experience of late that the extended free trial is just enough to scratch whatever WoW itch I might have once in a while, forestalling any irrational impulses I might have for using the time card I still have. I would still like to see some of the higher level areas, and I will someday, but I have a lot of other things going on that are simply more important.<br /><br />...and once I've seen and played through everywhere I want to go, I don't have a drive to do it all repeatedly for better shinies.Teshhttp://tishtoshtesh.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-52297193256910628882011-09-20T10:29:10.108-05:002011-09-20T10:29:10.108-05:00If the guild is still intact, the people are still...If the guild is still intact, the people are still there and you have enough time to play, can you get used to the fact that Cata WoW is more of a lobby based dungeon grinder than a living breathing "omg what the hell is this" world? See I used to be in it for the story/world... now I play WoW like I play console shooters. Log on, queue up, kill stuff, log off. Being a healer and having a pocket tank makes the leveling process way smooth. Unfortunately the charm of the world is gone, I have yet to leave Ogri except for the fishing daily.<br /><br />I went through a similar process beginning of 2011, I wasn't sure if Cata was for me and if the game and I just weren't made for each another anymore. I took 9 months off, played the unlimited trial til I got sick of capping at level 20, then got in touch with my old friends/guildies and rerolled on a new server, no heirlooms, no bags, no cash, no achievements and loads of fun so far. What happens at 85? I don't know but by then I should have gotten at least 2 months of entertainment out of my new shaman :D<br /><br />I'll get back to you when GW2 and SWTOR come out and let you know if the WoW magic is still there.Salvaenushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154775137537706372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-37494765477399724512011-09-20T09:55:26.475-05:002011-09-20T09:55:26.475-05:00@Kring: Oh.
